Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1750 kg kg with this Audi.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1750 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.
 Performance | |  Weight |
The Audi Q5 55 TFSI-e Quattro with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1750 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Audi is in general very good. And also the weight of the Caravan with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Attention
The Audi is a hybrid car. The calculated performance depends on the amount of power available in the battery. The advice and performance are based on average use where there is still a small amount of power in the battery.
Also make a calculation of the Audi on the fuel engine only in case the battery is empty.

Actual Weights
- Caravan as an example: 1750 kg.
- Audi Q5 55 TFSI-e Quattro: 2305 kg.
- Noseweight: 95 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 76%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 296 points).
- Speeds of 86 mph (138 km/h) to 94 mph (151 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 360 points).
- Higher revs (1800 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 9.5 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 340 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 25%). Not even on Hill starts.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2700 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 76 mph (123 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Audi is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 76%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 83%.
- There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
- Recommended noseweight is 95 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 155 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
- Performance is very good.
- If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
- It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.
